Brucecennial Exhibition 2014

The Brucennial Group Exhibition
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 6

"Tiki For Red", 14" x 9", 3D Lenticular Print, 2012

The Observer, “We’re not going to discuss the gender or sex of the artists involved in The Brucennial. As in previous years the show will consist of a variety of artists exhibiting work across all mediums, its not a curated group show it’s not an anointment ceremony into the art market or a codification of style. The Brucennial is a massive celebration of artists – knowns, unknowns, and known unknowns, the work they make, and the communities they build with each other.” (By comparison, women make up less than a third of the participants at this year’s Whitney Biennial, which also opens March 7.)

"An Unsuitable Princess" by Jane Rosenberg LaForge
Artwork by Mary Ann Strandell includes the cover image and
20 collaged / layered studies for 3D Lenticular Prints.

My art work for An Unsuitable Princes, responses to the bifurcated text of Jane's experimental memoir. The Pop Baroque and California Moderne are rooted in my oeuvre. WIth Jane's text I have re-configured new drawings and paintings for my vast archived image pool. They unfold as a mash-up in my hyperbolic lenticular prints, activated by the viewer through an optical lens. Mary Ann Strandell, February 2014

An Unsuitable Princess:

A True Fantasy / A Fantastical Memoir

Jane Rosenberg LaForge

art by Mary Ann Strandell

An Unsuitable Princess: A True Fantasy/A Fantastical Memoir tells two stories simultaneously. In the first, which takes place in Renaissance England, a mute stable girl of mysterious talents and potentially dangerous parentage finds herself punished for saving the life of the boy she loves. The second story, told through a series of footnotes to the first, is situated in the late 20th Century and explain the inspirations for the first story. An overly talkative, solidly spoiled, middle class girl muses on the social and economic phenomena the author observed while growing up in Hollywood during the birth of the hippie movement, the sexual revolution, women’s liberation, and the growth of Renaissance England re-enactments. She does not save the boy she thinks she loves. Indeed, she may have hastened his death. Even years later, the only way she can acknowledge this failure is by spinning an elaborate fantasy that becomes the tale of a wretched orphan who turns out to be a princess.

Mary Ann Strandell Statement +Bio

Statement:
Strandell’s works are a movable terrain between image, media and their myriad histories. Her ideas of perception and time explore the paradox of mediated images through painting, 3d lenticular, moving-image and installation. Using imagery of cultural memes, she bring into the minds-eye a query of location, placement and source. Drawn from the internet and her own photography, the works arc to include a mash of notable mid-century and modernist buildings, New York City construction sites, renditions of period rooms and porcelain objects from the ancient and contemporary trade routes. There is a constant process of visual translation in her work. From the site-made photo documenting oil paintings, to the 'staged for the archive’ internet image, or the casual note of found photography, these speculative transcriptions are set in motion. Her primary sources of traditional oil painting and drawings are often re-engineered from single planar views into the multivalent 3d lenticular media.

Bio:
